The Initiative — global in scope, comparative and interdisciplinary in its approach — fosters anti-racist scholarship and artistic production by engaging with scholars, teachers, students, writers, and artists whose work

  • examines various configurations of race and racism within their historical contexts and in its current multiracial complexities

  • studies the relationship between race and inequality

  • recovers narratives of resistance

  • celebrates the contributions of BIPOC voices to the construction of our communities

  • recovers and preserves oral histories and conducts heritage preservation

  • examines and dismantles barriers to economic opportunities for communities in and around Notre Dame and South Bend areas.

This year, the Initiative will highlight scholarship amplifying two key research themes: multiracial democracy and strategic generational wealth building in communities impacted by legacies of racial harm.
